What makes the timepiece so unusual is its scrimshaw dial (fossilized mammoth ivory) engraved with a falcon. The timepiece isn't a current model and released a few years ago at Watches & Wonders Hong Kong in 2015. The dial is hand-engraved by master engraver Ritchi Maier in his studio in Bondorf, Germany. Using modern hand tools he designed and microscopes, Maier patiently engraves thousands of small lines and dots to create depth and texture. Since it takes him up to 700 hours to create a single dial, only 18 dials were ever created for these artisanal timepieces.
